I tried to play with the concepts of will, determinism, simulation arguments and integrated information theories in order to provide a thought experiment towards finally knowing whether free will is real or not. Recommended on a Sunday morning-like mood - with coffee.

Wow, the environment here and in the comments is pretty... Dense... For any Y swimmer. There was that bit about fighting monsters...

I get that these manosphere men seethe with jealousy at the thought of women receiving anything from a man but I think that a woman taking their wealth is probably the last thing they should be worried about.

And we'll, here's the ENTIRE HISTORY of LK-99 (at time of writing). Ngl, it's interesting to see how some "fluencers" just ride the waves as they're climbing and leave as they start to fall. One of those cycles, I guess. Attention is a currency, after all.

And maybe this as well. Superconductors are fun. Here's a bit of the science that makes them so.

If you want to understand more about #superconductors - what they are, how they work, and what could be made of them - this would be a very good place to start. It's a place where electrons are equated with unruly skater kids. And you just know that's fundamentally true.

What with all the fuss about the new LK-99 paper (which I'll still have to dive into and work on for @tomshardware) , maybe now is the time to reshare these?

The hype surfers may have left the wave, but scientific inquiry demands we look into things as deeply as possible. Tom's Hardware continues to dive into the #LK99 story while trying to make sense of this water-damaged picture.
